Krista Porter Agocs Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi there. I am brand new to this and want to put my best effort towards doing the Whole30. I have an obsession with Claussen Kosher dills. Here is the ingredient list. Is there anything that would prevent me from having these during the next 30 days? Fresh Cucumbers, Water, Salt, Distilled Vinegar, Contains Less than 2% of Dried Garlic, Calcium Chloride, Sodium Benzoate (to Preserve Flavor), Spice, Mustard Seed, Natural Flavor, Polysorbate 80, Dried Red Peppers, Oleoresin Turmeric Thanks!

Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 12, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 12, 2013 You can eat the Clausen's but there are better choices available. Bubbies Kosher Dills are made with Cucumbers Artesian Well Water Garlic Salt Dill Spices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournegirl Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Polysorbate is a Polymerised sugar (think sorbitol) used as an emulsifier and tastes awful. Like plastic sugar not surprisingly! I had some coconut milk with it in once and even if I wanted to I couldn't drink it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkn Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 @Tom, just bought a jar of the Bubbies. Delicious, but also has calcium chloride as an ingredient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maycat Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Calcium chloride should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Calcium chloride is a salt, so you are good to go with bubbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meg Hamilton Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Last time I looked at the Claussen ingredients, there was HFCS listed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoDelta Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 You can eat the Clausen's but there are better choices available. Ok on the Claussen's? Wow, I never knew that. I passed on these pickles last weekend in my lettuce wrapped hamburger. I'll definitely remember this because I'm going another 6 weeks on the Whole 30.

Maycat Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 For the love of what is good and holy, why the heck do they need to ruin perfectly good pickles with Polysorbate 80 in it! I am so disgusted with this now! I am tossing the big jar in my fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coveredincoconut Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The mini ones have high fructose corn syrup. Not sure if the regular ones do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kje77 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 These pickles look compliant to me but wasn’t sure about “flavoring”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
